Wasteland Garbage Planet 53 A World for Two…?
There is no spring on the Rusty Planet. People in Oasis City took off their winter cotton-padded jackets and put on short-sleeved shirts.
Sarah wakes from her long sleep.
Victor took her out to the sun while the midday sun was scorching. When Sarah opened her eyes, she saw a strange face coming to the store to exchange summer clothes.
The little girl looks a little cool, is very tall, and has a healthy wheat-colored skin.
Sarah: “Wow.”
The Rustfolk don't have this skin color; most of them are silver-rust and pale.
Perhaps because she herself was a person with prosthetic limbs and was overly concerned about other people's limbs, she noticed that one of the girl's legs was fake.
Sarah blinked in confusion. "You are?"
She had just woken up, and Victor hadn't had time to explain everything to her in detail. He was busy changing supplies, so he cut to the chase: "While you were sleeping, the Themis people bombed the institute and several of its branches. The Federation executed the people behind it, and Themis returned with the experimental subjects from the institute."
There was so much information that Sarah couldn't react for a moment.
This short sentence seemed to condense the plot of five or six chapters... No, Themis went to bomb the research institute?!
Sarah stood up and said, "Why didn't you call me for such a big thing?"
Victor's face looked grim. "Why did I call you? When Themis left, he didn't even take Moira with him. He just left on his own!"
Sarah: “…”
She was annoyed. "How dare Themis not take us with him on such a wonderful occasion? How abominable!"
"Pfft." The cool girl couldn't help laughing.
Sarah turned her attention back to her and asked quietly, "Are you the experimental subject brought back by Themis?"
The girl nodded: "Yes, my name is Zhou Yunting."
Sarah smiled. "It's a nice name, but are all your prosthetic limbs this style now? They don't look... very good in combat."
Mechanical prostheses can change their shape and require an energy tank to be placed inside. Even if it is just a palm, it is still quite heavy.
Her prosthesis looks very light, and it is not a mechanical skeleton, but more like a nano-light material.
Zhou Yunting rolled up half of his trouser legs and said, "This is a medical device."
Sara started, then leaned over to her legs and looked left and right.
Is this the medical body?
Seeing that she was so interested, Zhou Yunting took the opportunity to introduce and demonstrate it.
The medical material is lightweight and easy to move around in. The interface with the human body is as skin-friendly as down and does not hurt the body. It also has self-repair capabilities and does not require constant maintenance... Apart from being unable to assist in combat, it is full of benefits.
As soon as Ethan came over, he saw Sarah's envious expression and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face: "What's wrong?"
Then he casually handed a space button to Victor and said, "These are a batch of newly ripe vegetables. Remember to take some out and put them on the shelf for everyone to exchange."
Victor: "Tell Sarah that I won't be busy here anymore once she wakes up. I still need to apply for a medical replacement."
Sarah: “Wait.”
She grabbed Ethan's clothes and ripped them open.
Ethan was horrified: "What are you doing!"
Zhou Yunting took two steps back and watched the show with a sharp gaze.
Sarah: "I can't hear the mechanical shaft turning anymore. Where's the prosthesis in your belly?"
Ethan hurriedly tidied his clothes. "Is it surprising? Xie Yunsui modified my medical system. Now I not only have a stomach, but also a heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!"
Of course, they are not the regular five internal organs, just like the stomach is actually a garbage disposal. His five internal organs are medical bodies that each have the functions of the five internal organs.
In order to make room for the medical body, the mechanical box in his body was of course taken out.
Sarah originally thought that the medical body was just an exception. After all, it was so expensive, and the materials could not be obtained in the garbage dump. The only way to obtain it was to trade with pirates.
How come Ethan has changed his whole body?
Sarah's eyes widened. "You guys... went to rob the black market?"
Ethan: “…”
He couldn't help but knock on Sarah's head: "Forget about this idea of being easily targeted by the federal army!"
Sarah covered her forehead and asked, "Where did all the materials come from?"
Ethan glanced at Victor and asked, "You didn't tell her?"
Victor knocked on the table with his iron arm. "She just woke up! How can I say so much? Don't you know how much happened this winter? Even if I had eight mouths, I couldn't finish telling you everything in such a short time!"
Ethan looked up and calculated how long Sarah had been unconscious. It was indeed a long time. He had to start from the beginning. It gave him a headache just thinking about it.
He tilted his head and happened to recognize Zhou Yunting. He raised an eyebrow and pointed at her, saying, "That's her grandfather. He donated a lot of medical bodies to us. All the experimental subjects brought back were replaced with prosthetic limbs. There were some left over. Xie Yunsui spent an entire winter researching there and finally transformed those medical bodies into prosthetic bodies suitable for us."
Sarah was surprised: "Has everyone changed?"
Ethan: "Moira doesn't want to change. If she does, she won't be able to complete the inspection of Oasis City in one day. Themis said there's no rush to change, and asked us to do it first if we need it."
Then it was his turn first. He replaced five medical bodies by himself. He was really busy.
Ethan waved his hand. "Oh, it's because you just woke up, otherwise I would have changed you a long time ago. Victor is helping you maintain the business of the convenience store, and he hasn't been there these past few days. Once Victor is done, you can go find Xie Yunsui to change."
Sarah couldn't wait any longer, so she jumped up and ran away: "I'll go find him and ask about the situation first--"
Victor reacted slowly for five seconds before shouting, "Asshole! Stop! I applied first!"
-
Sarah ran away empty-handed, and today is the day to trade with Leon.
Xie Yunsui was busy for a whole winter and finally found some time to leave the Rusty Planet on Themis' spacecraft.
Ever since the last time some space pirates came for Zhou Fuli, the coordinates of the Rusty Star have been exposed to a small extent.
When Zhou Fuli returned, he made a big fanfare and attracted the attention of many big pirate groups. Unfortunately, there was still a group of small pirate groups who couldn't figure it out.
Why would Zhou Fuli go to the Garbage Planet for no reason? Was there some treasure there? Or did he place some treasure there?
So Themis defeated several pirate groups in succession and added several spaceships to the Rust Star.
Among the experimental subjects brought back from the research institute, there were many who dreamed of conquering the stars, so Themis gave them special training and kept the most outstanding ones to teach them how to control a spaceship.
Themis now has a battleship and eleven spaceships in his hands. When they all sail out of the Rusted Star, even the main ship of the Scavenger Alliance will be nervous when it arrives.
Leon and his dealings became increasingly cordial.
After the transaction was completed, Xie Yunsui asked the others to take the supplies back first, while he and Ximis wanted to explore the star field to see if there were any other threats.
Themis glanced at him and said nothing.
The two of them leisurely wandered in the outer space of the Rusty Star in a spaceship.
"Finally, I've managed to steal a moment of leisure from my busy life." Xie Yunsui asked as he rummaged through his small storage room, "What would you like to drink?"
"Cherry wine." Themis responded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong: "Didn't you say you wanted to detect threats?"
"With you leading the special training every day, the pirate group has gone out and never returned several times. No matter how brave those guys are, they dare not come here. I just want to find a chance to be alone with you."
Xie Yunsui placed a small table in front of the porthole, took out a few dishes that Xiaoxi liked, and took out cherry wine.
Xiaoxi and he don't like drinking much, but this cherry wine is a failed alcoholic product. It has almost no alcohol content and tastes like a drink with a super strong cherry flavor.
When Ximis heard the words "a world for two", he inexplicably thought of the previous world where he said he wanted a world for two, and then he took him to the training tower for a date, and they really had a very enjoyable... world for two.
Neither of them has much free time this winter.
Xie Yunsui first installed medical bodies on all the experimental subjects, which took more than a month. He then began to study the transformation of the medical bodies to replace the mechanical bodies on the human body. From time to time, he also had to listen to reports from Leo and others, and discuss trivial matters such as what crops should be planted in the Oasis City after the ice and snow melted.
He also had to frequently deal with pirate groups that came to challenge him, and he had to train his people on how to fly spaceships and cooperate with siege defense.
It seemed, indeed, that there had been no close contact for some time.
Themis' cheeks flushed slightly, and he took several gulps of cherry wine.
He glanced at the cockpit. It was quite spacious, and there were no monitors. The control panel had too many buttons, so it might be a bit uncomfortable...
"Themis?"
Xie Yunsui waved his hand in front of his eyes several times.
Themis snapped back to reality: "Ah, what?"
"Why are you daydreaming?"
"Oh, I think, well, the cockpit monitoring equipment was damaged, and there was no time to install a replacement..."
Xie Yunsui pinched his face and said, "Don't think about these things now. Eat well first."
Themis: “…Yeah.”
"Ethan has been managing Oasis City while we've all been busy lately, and he seems to be doing a good job." He didn't mention it again, but Xie Yunsui brought up the topic again.
Themis answered absentmindedly, "Well, he actually likes being around people."
"I replaced all his internal organs and removed the mechanical box that was prone to malfunctioning due to overheating. This summer, he won't have to hide during the day and can only work at night."
"Um?"
"How can we waste such precious time during the day? From now on, let him do the work during the day as well."
“…”
Xie Yunsui smiled suddenly: "Let's train Ethan, and then find a few capable people among those children. We will slowly hand over Oasis City to them and then we can go on an interstellar journey."
Themis was stunned. "Interstellar travel? Aren't you still going to open a shop?"
He thought that since Xie Yunsui worked so hard to develop Rust Star, he would move towards business.
Xie Yunsui said, "I've thought about it. There are so many planets in this world. Trading on just one or a few planets wouldn't be very interesting. Why not tie it to a spaceship or starship? We can open a store wherever we go and sell the local specialties of Rusted Planet. This will also allow more people to know about the existence of Rusted Planet and experience the customs and cultures of different planets."
Themis thought about it and actually didn't have much impression of other planets. When he was fleeing, he was more concerned about whether there were pursuers rather than living a serious life. If he could walk around as a normal citizen, the feeling would probably be very different.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
